What happened
A new university-affiliated center for the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric cancer opened at Hakim Children’s Hospital in Tehran.

Why it matters
The new center is expected to reduce out-of-pocket healthcare costs for families. Previously, the private sector was the only provider of pediatric cancer treatment in the country. The expansion of public access aims to lower the financial burden on patients and their families, particularly regarding high radiotherapy costs.
